Business as Usual

I know it has been quite a while since I have left a new post for all of you to read. I am truly sorry! Please forgive me. I have been real real busy with getting stuff together for a fashion show that I get the honor of being a sponsor for as well as trying to move to a new home.

Even though we are moving it is still business as usual. My office looks like a cluttered mess at the moment but I am still working away at bringing more beautiful fun things to my awesome fans and customers. I have so many new things planned!

I love that I have so many great supporters. I am so thankful for each and every one of you. You are each appreciated more than you will ever know.

This is a very short post I know. I just wanted to make sure that you all know that I did not forget about you. I just have been focussed on other things besides my blog.

TuTu CUTE!

Everyone knows that Fairies have wings, but did you know that little girls can be little pixies and feel like they are flying in costumes like this?

Last year I decided that I was going to give a hand to creating fun costumes. I started with a bumble bee for a friend for her daughter for Halloween, but I just couldn't stop there.

There was a beautiful Garden Fairy (which I will share pictures of when the our newest model gets them back to me). the garden fairy had a long flowing tutu with

butterflies and beauty all over it.

How about the Missy Mouse? Oh that was one of my favorites. My daughter was Minnie Mouse for Halloween, which was inspiration for that tutu dress. She really loved that one!

It's amazing what creations begin with,

mostly they begin with my customer telling me what they'd like, such as color, style. From there my mind just takes it to where it will go!

Creating them is the easy part for me, but parting with my creations when I am done is so hard. I can't wait for my customer to see them, but I am saddened when they are being boxed up!

I appreciate all of my customers who challenge me to be creative. Sometimes, it floors me where these ideas come from! I never knew they were inside me. So, to all of my customers that allow me to be paint like an artist and use their precious daughters as the canvas to display my art, I humbly Thank YOU!

NEWBORN BEAUTY

There is nothing like the first photos of a newborn to make you look at your children and say, "WOW, I can't remember you being that size. Where did the time go?"

With such a huge gap in ages between

my two daughters, it is like doing it over for the first time again! Although Mariah isn't a newborn, she certainly isn't the size of Kandi. Often times, I look at Mariah and think about Kandi at that age and really, even though they are so different, they are so much the same too.

Recently, I was fortunate to have a newborn model. Her mommy did a fantastic job picking out just the right stuff for her first shoot. She was stunning and adorable and I have to say, it made me say those very same words, "Where did the time go?"

For me, the answer is simple, it went too fast! Isn't McKinley just adorable? I bet you are looking at this photo and saying the same thing. Thanks to her mother for providing us with this photo, modeling our beautiful pettiskirt and icy rose. A Natural Newborn Beauty for sure!

A Perfect Match

I recently partnered up with Sparkles and Stars Modeling. I went to their facebook page and looked through the photos of all of their beautiful models that they have available for assignments. I instantly knew I wanted to work with little miss Ava.

The day before I was contacted by Sparkles and Stars I had just finished this gorgeous Mardi Gras Royalty set and miss Ava was the perfect match!

Sparkles and Stars has a policy that all contact must go through them. So I contacted miss Christy and told her that I was interested in working with little Ava. I had no idea where Ava lived or anything about her. All I knew was that she was very pretty and I thought she would look amazing in this outfit. Within a couple of days Christy emailed me Ava's shipping information

so that I could send her the outfit I had chosen for her to model.

To my amazement upon receiving the email, little miss Ava lives in Mississippi! Wow what a coincidence right? Miss Ava looks absolutely stunning in this "Mardi Gras Royalty" "Diva"riffic set. I love the fact that her photos were done on the beach too. Thank you to Sparkles and Stars for giving us the opportunity to work with this beautiful little girl. Thank you to her mother as well for allowing us the chance to have Ava wear some of our products. She is beautiful!

It truly is a perfect match!!

BEHIND THE SCENES

Ever wondered what goes on when you place an order? The clock starts and I get to work.

Even though the dress I am working on in this picture is for Mariah, I treat every order the same. I get working on it right away.

Custom orders are so much fun. To know I can create something that expresses the personality of your little one as well as yours, that is truly rewarding.

New techniques do not scare me. I will have to admit, I do study and ponder them for quite sometime, but I soon find myself diving right in with persistence, until the task is mastered! Like this new diamond design tutu. Mentally, I could not wrap my brain around it, but once I started, I just couldn't stop!

I plan on bringing some of my most creative work yet this year, so be on the lookout. Tell all your friends about "BOW"dacious and tell them to follow this blog! They could be in store for a real treat this year!

Thanks for taking a little peak behind the scenes!

ZEBRA IS ALL THE RAGE

Everywhere you look, you see Zebra. I was watching a popular sitcom last night and one of the actresses had a Zebra dress on. I shop the boutiques and Zebra is everywhere. It's black on white is usually paired with a bright stunning color.

I have discovered that my inventory of fabrics and ribbons MUST contain Zebra print. But what I think is the best of all, is the glue gun I work with! YEP! It's ZEBRA!

When I had my boutique items on display this past year, I had a woman say to me "I remember when animal prints were only in the bedroom and on lingerie!"

Everywhere you turn today, there are animal prints of all kinds. I have a few new items that will be released in the near future that also feature a different animal print! You won't want to miss them.

For Christmas, we purchased a beautiful Zebra print toy box for my daughter and foot stool for Mommy when she is rocking the little princess in the rocking chair.

I have seen Zebra rugs in home decor and Zebra accessories. What will be next? Oh did I mention that I have a Zebra print purse?

The next time you see Zebra material, you will think of "BOW"dacious Boutique - BECAUSE WE ARE WILD AND ALL THE RAGE!

A new angel is born on this sad day

Last night while browsing around on facebook I came across a story that had tears streaming down my face while reading it. The Staats family recently lost their beautiful baby girl unexpectedly. Today is the day they lay her to rest.

While reading their story I felt so sad for the mother of this beautiful little girl as her feelings came right through her writing. As she described what it was like to choose a dress for her baby girl's funeral I could not imagine the pain she must feel.

This precious angel was so young. She looked like such a happy baby and she was very loved. Her family will miss her so much. Her mother says that her favorite color was pink and that she loved big bows. How sweet she must have been!

As a remembrance to their precious angel they asked that today everyone would put a big bow on their little girls. So today my little angel is Happy Go Lucky. Our thoughts and prayers are with this family on this sad day. God bless them and give them peace. Little Maddie is in good hands where she's at now. Rest assured that she is in a happy place!

Today as she looks down on all of here on Earth I hope she sees little girls all around wearing their big bows in her memory. This is for you little Maddie! Fly free little angel.

On this sad day a new angel is born!
